Doors Of Its New DWELL
ing Place.
A Reception and Ball rendered
to Several Hundred of
Its Friends.
One More Added to the List of
Prominent Weddings
This Season.
A Day When the Social World
Was Livelier Than Usual
Notes.

The doors of the new home of the
WabaSha club were thrown wide open
last evening for the reception and enter
talnment of the society world of st.
Paul. The new club house is located at
155 Western avenue on the lot adj
joining the Hotel Richelieu. This
location obviateS the necessity of a
caterer in the club house and c. NJ. Bon
neau, the caterer of the new hotel, will
act in the same capacity for the club.
The house is marvel of neatnesS in the
way of arrangement and seems to be
perfectly fitted in its every ap-
pOintment for the purpose for
which it is to be used.
On the first floor wide hall leads from
the main entrance back to what will be
known as the card room. To the right
is the reading room; to the left the
lounging room, and between the Ioung-
ing room and the card room is the
smoking room: Up broad stair case
to the second floor, which is given up to
one large and one small room.
The large one is the billiard room; the
small one the whist room. All these
rooms are elegantly fitted up and finely
and taStefully finished in hard wood,
wainscoted and decorated quite artis-
tlcally. The property was purchased for
S15, 900 and $4,000 have since been re-
fused for it. Rich curtains separate the
different rooms and add not a little to
its general appearance.
LAST NIGHTS BALL
The two large rooms to be used for
the new cafe in the Hotel Richelieu
were used for the ball which took place
after the reception last evening. An
arched cOnOpy was stretched over a
carpeted walk, which led from the
veranda of the club house to the side
entrance to the hall rooms. These were
deliberately decorated with plants
placed in every nook and corner, and
around the edges of an unprOvised
platform on one side of the farther
room where Seibert'S orches-
ira was located. The reception
lasted from Q p. m. until midnight when
refreshments were served and after
which the dancing began. During this
the orchestra was divided, one part be-
ing seated in an alcove off the main en-
trance while the other remained in the
ball room.
Timetables were decorated in exquis-
lite taste. In the midst of the long
table was fountain around disk of
Nuo Si"oo GU 'h0 paSo VI WHICH
were several goldfish sporting
bank of flowers. roses filled in
with natural leaves of green and snilaX.
The carving at this feast was done with
a knife and fork once the property of
Charles Sumner. The banquet or re-
past over, the dancing began, lasting
until late hour.
About 400 invitations were sent out
and but few regrets were received, so
that the reception was as large as it was
elegant. =
